Android: How to Download a Video File to Sd Card

ANDROID: How do I download a video file to SD card?

aren't running out of memory ?
I imagine a video file is very large - which you are buffering before writing to file.

I know your example code is all over the internet - but it's BAD for downloading !
Use this:

private final int TIMEOUT_CONNECTION = 5000;//5sec
private final int TIMEOUT_SOCKET = 30000;//30sec

            URL url = new URL(imageURL);
            long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            Log.i(TAG, "image download beginning: "+imageURL);

            //Open a connection to that URL.
            URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();

            //this timeout affects how long it takes for the app to realize there's a connection problem
            ucon.setReadTimeout(TIMEOUT_CONNECTION);
            ucon.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT_SOCKET);

            //Define InputStreams to read from the URLConnection.
            // uses 3KB download buffer
            InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
            BufferedInputStream inStream = new BufferedInputStream(is, 1024 * 5);
            FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
            byte[] buff = new byte[5 * 1024];

            //Read bytes (and store them) until there is nothing more to read(-1)
            int len;
            while ((len = inStream.read(buff)) != -1)
            {
                outStream.write(buff,0,len);
            }

            //clean up
            outStream.flush();
            outStream.close();
            inStream.close();

            Log.i(TAG, "download completed in "
                    + ((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) / 1000)
                    + " sec");5
